I guess this past Wednesday is unofficially Deny Defend Depose Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Brian_Thompson

Oh god. I was reading through the page and this gem was down in the section on the response from healthcare companies:

Another executive was quoted saying "What's most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity."

Says the people who hide behind keyboards, phone calls, employees, doctors, guards, police as they hurt people they don't know. Talk about losing your humanity.

That has to be one of the most depraved and appalling things I've ever read. I just got a piece of mail from cigna telling me to sign up for their supplemental insurance before something terrible happens to me.

I think I'll use it to curse their CEO and lackeys instead. I don't know if that shit works, but it might offer some catharsis after finding out they deny epileptic children with cancer treatment and are baffled when parents "freak out." Seriously, those inhuman husks can eat shit and choke.

Cigna has a new policy, starting 2025, that you can only get your medications covered at either CVS or Walgreens. Not both. So now I have to move two prescriptions to CVS which is way farther away and I prefer Walgreens. This Walgreens is always out of stock on two of my prescriptions, so they forced my hand.

They didn't even send a letter, just an email about it. A bunch of people are going to get a very expensive surprise.

I know it's not on the level of murder, I'm just kinda surprised they went through with it after what happened.

I was reading a Facebook post about how UHC denied a kid their anti-rejection meds for a liver transplant because there was a cheaper one the kid had already had a bad reaction to, and they thought he should give that one a try again first… 🤦

The private health industry needs to die, and all executives with it. I can't tell if those words are worse than straight up hate speech with the nonchalant way it is worded. He doesnt even consider the lives of those children as real at all. That denying those claims is denying life. This is the prevailing attitude at huge conglomerates and I've had my fill. They deserve what they dish out, death.

they've become like politicians or lawyers or police or soldiers who don't care about the damage they've inflicted on millions of people's lives and believe that what they're doing is justified because it's for some "greater good" and never mind that the people they're harming were never part of that greater good.
